Gurley was forced out of bounds by LSU's Craig Loston and his ankle turned outwardly when he landed. Gurley quickly popped up and jogged with a noticeable limp to the sidelines. The Bulldogs' medical staff treated him on the sideline and taped his ankle.

Gurley then left the field for the locker room with about 10 minutes to play in the first half. CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson said the report from the Georgia sideline was that Gurley was "out for now."

He had eight carries for 73 yards. He entered the game averaging 125.7 yards per game.
